How to Use a Jack In Your Car
When you’ve got a broken down car, the first thing you need to do is figure out if you can fix it yourself or if you need to call a tow truck. If the car can’t be fixed, then you’ll need to turn to using a jack to pull it out.
If your car has a manual jack, it’s pretty easy to use. All you have to do is find your jack stand and find the screws that hold your jack in place. Once you’ve found those screws, unscrew them and lift up your jack. Next, position the jack where you want it and screw the screws back in place.
If your car has an automatic jack, things are a little more complicated. First, find your battery and disconnect it. Next, find the release button and press it in until it pops out of its socket.

Both types of jacks have a lever that raises and lowers the platform, so you can easily access the screws that hold the panels in place.
